<span style="color: #134f5c;">Angel of Night</span><br />
<br />
When I first began working with angels, I started connecting with angels that were popular or ateast written about more often. The archangels in particular are a pretty common subject of writing. I delved into getting to know them. It wasn't until years later when I began looking at this type of spirit work seriously that I began to look for less popular angels to connect with. This led me to Leliel. I began connecting with Leliel when I glimpsed a new spirit in my half awake state as I was falling asleep. I was beginning the long cycle of blurry thoughts when a figure moved past my mind's eye. I started awake just in time to see this shadowy figure disappear. I returned to sleep and thought nothing of it. The next day I began my research on who this being could be. I felt in my gut it was an angel, so off to relevant associations I went. This angel came to me in my sleep and dreams, but I don't think it meant to be seen. Atleast in as much as it didn't mind if I did notice it. I came upon Leliel and knew this name was familiar. I meditated to meet her and it has been a good relationship since.<br />
Leliel is angel of the night, dreams, and conception. She has a subtle and quiet energy about her. When I connect with her I am brought to stand on the top of a grassy hill over looking gently rolling fields. The sky is midnight blue and full of stars while a ghostly mist lingers at the bottoms of the hills. It is beautiful, peaceful, and mysterious. Leliel is like this atmosphere and appears from the dark like an ancient medicine man. Leliel can be called upon to help with issues involving sleep and dreams. She can also be sought for help in conception. Over all Leliel is a quiet and patient angel.

Angels are merely part of the larger group of beings that function on another plane of reality. That being said, not all spirits are friendly. And some are down right negative. When you find yourself in a bad situation with these types of spirits the best thing to do is walk away. But what if they don't leave you be?<br />
<br />
Then it is time for some angelic protection. In all things, Michael is the #1 angel of protection. He protects against almost everything except for in-laws. Asking Michael for help is simple and takes a moment. After asking, visualize his light surrounding you and your home. Archangel Michael candle are sold in many places. I found mine at walmart. If you want an added boost of energy, buy a few and light one after dark. Ask Michael to fill your home with his energy.<br />
<br />
Other angels for other things...<br />
<br />
Negative Ghosts- Azrael: archangel Azrael is an angel of death. This places him in the unique situation to be able to confront the unhappy dead. Azrael is not cruel or spiteful, but ushers the dead into their rightful places.<br />
<br />
Negative Faery/Fae- Ariel: Faery are linked very closely to nature and humans. Ariel is a force of nature in herself and is willing to move in between pestering nature sprites and people.<br />
<br />
Shadow people- Cassiel: While not all shadow people are bad, there are some that give off that negativity. Cassiel is a protecting angel. He especially doesn't want up to be afraid or oppressed in our own homes. Call on Cassiel to deal with distinguishing what a shadow person is and how best to protect you.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-78575395044324207472014-03-25T08:37:00.002-07:002014-03-25T08:37:46.857-07:00Spring Celebration Spell<b>Spring Celebration Spell</b><br />

<div>
Hold the yellow candle in your hands and close your eyes. Imagine the fresh spring moving across the land. The plants are greening and blooming. The air is full of warmth and energy. The animals are awake, singing and enjoying the new sunlight. The sky is clear and turquoise blue. In this vision of spring, visualize the energy of spring as angels. They tend the grass, they fly along the breeze, they sit beside the trees, and most importantly they open their arms up to welcome the spring sunlight. They come in many colors and in many lights. See them sending their energy into the yellow candle. It shimmers with their radiant energy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Open your eyes and place your candle in its holder. Take your angel statue and hold it in your hands. In your mind thank the angels for their help in your life. Invite them to bring in the fresh energy of spring into your life. Set the angel down. Hold up the ribbons you have. Cut off a few strands of each color, or atleast 7-10 strands of ribbon total. Hold the strands in your hands and say,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">"I celebrate this new season with color and light. May I be filled with the same."</span></b></div>
<div>

If you like, you can do a little cleaning or meditating. Set your angel in the sunlight when possible to soak up the light. </div>

A lot of changes have happened this winter that I am glad to say have finally settled in. Spring is my time to renew. I have needed it. I am still writing towards my book. It is a process that I am hoping will bear fruit by the end of the year.<br />
I just finished an illustration project for the Ancient Egyptian Daybook that should come out in August if not before. I am very excited to receive a copy. Another older illustration will be featured in a book on fairy tales later this year.<br />
I know the angels are looking out for me and I look forward to more interactions as the fresh energy of the season pours in.<br />

Tomorrow is a full moon on Valentine's. This is a great time to call upon the angels as your matchmakers. If you need a friend, lover, or a spouse they can help guide you to an appropriate partner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li style="text-align: left;">printed sigil</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Print out the sigil and cut it out. Hold it in your hands. Under the full moon, hold it up so that the moon is behind the sigil. If its cloudy in your area hold up sigil and visualize the moon behind it. Note that the moon will move in the sky so do this when you can see it above the horizon. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Holding the sigil up take a deep breath and visualize the angels whose names are on the sigil. Hold their names in your mind and ask that they send their blessing to your work. When you are ready say,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>"The moon shines brightly into the heart of the one that is guided to me. May Shekinah dwell in my heart to know them when we meet."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Visualize the sigil glowing with moonlight, pure and white. Light the sigil on fire and place it in the bowl. When it is burned cover it in lavender or peppermint. On the last day of the full moon, burn the herbs. </div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Angel Divination Circle</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Supplies</u>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-black pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-poppy seeds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-large cleanable surface</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-divination tool of choice</div>
<br />
Take a handful (or small cups full) of black pepper and hold it in your hands. Think of the angel Uriel. Visualize Uriel standing before you. His energy radiates heat and the smell of earth. Hold that visualization as you use the pepper to make a large circle on your surface. Once that is done, place the cup to the side. Hold that visualization of Uriel and say,<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">"I call the archangel Uriel to my circle."</span></b><br />
<br />
Pick up the poppy seeds and hold them in your hands. Relax and visualize energy flowing from the earth into the seeds and from the air into the seeds. They glow with the energy of the Universe. Take a pinch of seeds and place them on your tongue. Use the rest of the seeds to form a circle on the outside of the pepper circle. Go slowly as the seeds could jumble a bit more. When you are ready, hold your divination tool in your hands. Take a deep breath and say,<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>"The Universe fills with energy. The energy moves through me. May archangel Uriel open the way to truth."</b></span><br />
<br />
Do your normal reading within the circle. Ask questions directly to Uriel. When you are done, thank Uriel. Brush the pepper and seeds into the trash.<br />

This is the type of thing that happens when I 'talk angel.' Mostly, its a quiet discussion with me trying to reply mentally to the idea fast impressions. So now that I have moved into our new home and this coming weeks ends apartment living I have found that familiar prodding has returned. I'm finding more journals in the bookstore clearance. And the angels know I can't turn down a good looking journal. And the days at work have gone dead silent due to weather. So next week I'll be taking a journal with me to work so I can stop their prodding. Time to finish my freelance and return to the writings.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-89885448139965715262014-01-15T18:54:00.002-08:002014-01-15T18:54:50.812-08:00Moving ForwardTonight I learned something I have never quite let sink in. I feel that it is a lesson that good people don't usually don't assimilate into themselves. It took me 10 years to really let it hit home and so far I feel replenished by it. This must have been one of the reasons the angels have been a bit quieter lately. So the message I have finally come to know is this....<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"You deserve better."</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Its not that I deserve a better life, car, or what have you. It is that I deserve to reach for what I want out of life and have it. Sure, the Universe would accept my choice to live as I do and work retail my entire life. But that is not what I want. This lesson, message, wasn't just from the Universe, gods, or spirits. It was from me, myself, to me. I have finally given myself permission to rise above the lowly standards I have held for myself. If only I could plan on walking in a certain direction. I'll figure it out. Bright blessings.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-12815743192541393922014-01-07T14:00:00.002-08:002014-01-07T14:00:52.120-08:00Three Time Blessing SpellA three times blessing spell for your winter time care.

With the winter holidays having come and now gone, a went on. I was not kind to myself I am afraid. I was over worked at work and then proceeded to exhaust myself at home too. My husband did warn me of this and I didn't really take it to heart. So the Universe saw fit to make me lethargic at first, then all out sick the next day. Half of my vacation has been going through and recovering from illness. I am unhappy to say that this was what my husband's intuition and the angels were trying to keep me from. I hope to listen better next time.<br />
<br />

With all of the holiday traveling now was not the time to have stuff crop up at work. But it did. The store is out of control, so I went the right way and sent a message to HR.

We will see how this all turns out.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-4833686037221006652013-11-25T19:21:00.002-08:002013-11-25T19:21:17.727-08:00Winter Travel Spell<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Winter Travel Spell</span></div>
<br />
Not many people know this but archangel Michael is the angel of snow.Yeah, surprising right? With the winter season coming right along and the potential for bad and cold weather I thought I would include a little charm to help keep everyone safe. Before you travel in the morning or go on a longer ride, stand by your car with your keys in hand. Take a deep breath and call on Michael. Thank him for protecting you as you go on your way today. Then hold up your keys and jingle them so they make a pleasing noise. You can jingle them in front of your car and imagine Michael surrounding your car with his energy. WHen you have the visualization in your mind say,<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">"With a jingle of keys,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">Archangel Michael appease,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">Through good times or foul,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">His presence is found."</span></div>
<br />
With your spell done get in, warm up, and get going!<br />
<br />
Safe travels for everyone driving this winter!BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-53009907550325010712013-11-17T19:27:00.001-08:002013-11-17T19:27:09.458-08:00Winter Weather and StormsWith that change in the air, drop in temperature, and the quick coming sunset you can finally tell. Winter is coming. That means plenty of activity in malls, churches, and with families. For me this time of year is swept with activities and rushing around like crazy. Emotions are effected by the change in light and weather. The energy in the air is still and cold, causing people to huddle within their homes. Some people are mentally effected by the weather and change. They can become easily depressed or emotional. It happens and is another way we see how the cycles of nature effect us.<br />
<br />
Myself, I have started to feel the mental shift in my body. My emotions are on my sleeve and my energy can drop like a dime. Thankfully I have gone through a lot and learned so much. I think I'll be able to handle myself this winter just fine. I did end up driving two hours in the huge storm. From kentucky to Ohio. The drive down was wet and unpredictable. So in the midst of my drive down I asked Michael to help me get there and back home safely. Well, I did get there safely. Imagine my surprise when my husband began texting me about this huge storm that would be striking around the time I was planning to drive back. I left a bit early from kentucky and headed back home. Although I made it into Ohio before the storm hit, a huge traffic jam had me stuck. I fretted, hoping to avoid the storms. Yet when traffic finally let up I was stuck in the midst of the rain. Nervously I called to Michael. He was there, instantly. It was if he had been there all along, which he had, and only let me see him when I became scared. I asked many other angels for comfort as I drove home stressed and tired. Thank you angels!BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-23164312152171730172013-11-09T19:54:00.003-08:002013-11-09T19:54:32.499-08:00ConfirmingListening for and to spirits is a bit tricky. On one hand they know things you can only dream about and on the other hand you need to keep up a healthy level of suspicion on what you are interpreting. Especially when you communicate with more that just angels. I work with land spirit, spirit guides, and more so keeping a validation system helps to keep me sane. Even with angels, keeping a confirmation system with them can be affirming and helps keep your mind focused. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whenever you connect with an angel, ask them to give you a specific sign to confirm your connection and message were valid. Then keep your eyes open for said signs. This can be a dove, dragon, blue flag, or any thing they know will have relevance to you. And don't be surprised if your dove sign ends up being a bar of dove soap. </div>

I mean really, how do you start a living with that? Anyways, good news came yesterday. My husband and I bought a house! We will be moving in december. Just in time for the holidays! I know the angels came through and helped us find a good place. Maybe it was a little nudge towards my next goal. Maybe.<br />
<br />
For today I did a little smudging and invoked Michael to keep our current home safe. Once I get to our new home I am sure I will do it again. I plan to have an office for the work to come with my altar and magick stuff in our fireplace room. Oh the joys of owning a home.

I set up a table with a few paintings and information on the organizations I am part of. As am added bonus I was doing angel readings. I'm not sure why but I had been given clear inspiration to do them. So I was only a few table down from the tarot readers (which was awkward) and my reiki teacher a couple tables the other way. There I sat.<br />
<br />
I ended up giving about five angel readings and talking about the different groups I was part of. People loved my paintings but not enough to buy them. Ah well. The important thing was that I gave the messages I needed to. On the first reading I could feel my head tingling and opening up. It was an amusing and weird feeling. I helped ground myself with reiki, so that did help. I had a lot of fun despite a terrible profit (i asked for a donation instead of a price for readings). Yay for the angels, and for cookies.

<b><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">Spirit Collection Spell - Angel of Death Retrieval</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
At this time of year the membrane that keeps people blind to spirits thin and people become aware of the unseen world around them. Many people could encounter animistic spirits, guides, or totems. Others experience their departed loved ones and ancestors. Then you have places that stir with unhappy or harmful ghosts. Those who departed with unhappiness in their hearts and stayed close to this plane of existence. For these spirits, who have done or want to do harm, a spell has been crafted to call upon the Angel of Death to guide these spirits homeward. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Supplies</u>:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Black or grey candle (and holder)</li>
<li>white paper</li>
<li>grey, silver, or black marker</li>
<li>fireproof bowl </li>
<li>any decorations for altar</li>
<li>image or statue of the angel of death</li>
<li>small bag of salt </li>
</ul>
<div>
Set up your altar for spell work. Place the candle in the center of your altar. Set your paper, salt, and marker close by. The representation of the angel should be in back of your candle, laying flat or at a safe distance from the flame. Place the fire proof bowl in front of the candle. Feel free to cleanse or smudge the area before you begin. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sit or stand before your space and bring your hands to your chest, above your heart. Take in a few deep breathes and close your eyes. Visualize Azrael, the angel of death, standing in front of you. If you feel intimidated by the angel ask that they give you a little room until you feel more comfortable. Hold the visualization of this angel and after a moment see them stand on the other side of the altar from you. When you feel their presence continue. Say,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">"Oh angel of gentleness,</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Most patient and kind,</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Tonight I send you swiftly,</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Restless spirits to find,</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Guide them homewards,</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">To places that shine.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Where moonless nights,</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Leave no one blind."</span><span style="color: #a2c4c9;"> </span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Take up your paper and marker. Write the places that you or others have experienced unhappy spirits. These are the ones that may be harmful, overly mischievous, or be negatively effecting the living. You may not know which spirit is doing these things, so writing down the place and address (if possible) is ideal. This way the angel can tend to any of the spirits they need to. Once you have written the places fold them up. In your mind, imagine the place and once you can 'see' it clearly, set the paper on fire with the candle. Place the burning paper in the bowl. You can do this for multiple places if you need to, even your own home to help cleanse it. Once you are done relax and close your eyes. Address Azrael and kindly ask them to tend to these places. Thank them for their assistance and continue. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Open your eyes and pick up the small bag of salt. Pour the salt over the burnt paper until they are completely covered. Using your finger draw a spiral from outside to the middle of the bowl. Pick up your angel representation and place it in the center of your salt spiral. Blow out your candle and say,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;">"All life moves steadily to one end. May Azrael guide the restless to the shining places."</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Keep your angel up for atleast three days. You can perform this at any time of year. New moons work best and Samhain or Halloween are the most active. </div>

There were five of us having angel readings done. I was the middle person and I listened carefully to everything she said. I took notes and went through them later to highlight the portions that stood out. So what did the angels have to say?<br />
Well among the sweet things that were somewhat personal, the over all theme was...<br />
<br />
<b>"Stop being lazy and get down to business. You're space is so cluttered that you are wasting money buying things that you already have buried in the clutter. Instead organize and create what you want for yourself." </b><br />
<br />
There was a lot of focus on my behavior toward space management. I told my husband this and his response was <b>"you realize I now have angels on my side."</b> Well that is tough love for you. In the chat I was the only one to have two angels step up to help me with this phase of my path. Which makes me feel a tad better. Even if one of said angels gets annoyed by all the clutter in my office. I have a feeling that angel #2 is the one sympathetically patting me on the shoulder. We will see how it goes.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-73918438409783738162013-10-19T09:27:00.000-07:002016-09-10T16:30:01.798-07:00Angelic Sigil Spell<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Sigils are symbols created to focus and upon and be charged for a certain purpose. This sigil was created as a focus for communication with the angels. Around the outside in angelic script is a short prayer to the angels to open up the lines of communication and guide us. Then there are the names of some of the angels I have worked with. At the top is the name of archangel Michael, who is the commander of heaven. The symbol of life and magick, the ankh, sits between wings representing the angels as messengers of the Source.<br />
<br />
To charge a sigil you print it and cut it out. Hold it in your hands and close your eyes. Ask the the angels to connect with you and help to raise your vibration to connect with them. Imagine that request as a ball of energy within your heart. Let it glow brightly as you focus on your request. After visualizing it becoming as bright as it can, imagine the ball moving from your heart, between your arms and down into your hands. Once there it flattens and merges into the sigil.<br />
<br />
Now that the sigil is charged you can place it where its energy will flow best. Or you can burn it and let the energy move into the Universe.<br />
<br />
<u>Places to put the sigil:</u><br />
-under the bed<br />
-inside a stuffed animal<br />
-Inside a pillow or sachet<br />
-on your altar<br />
-under your favorite angel statue<br />
<br />
<br />
THIS ART IS NOT TO BE TAKEN. PRINT FOR USE AS SIGIL ONLY<br />

AngelsThere are many types of spirits and helpers. Spirit guides are very popular in the new age and metaphysical communities. Spirit guides are spirits of people who have passed, made peace with their deaths, learned from their lives, ascended, and decided to work as guides for other people. They have been human and can understand human experiences. They always seek to support their charge and help them grow spiritually.<br />
<br />
Angels on the other hand are said to not have human experiences. Their energy is not the same as a human spirit or soul. However, recently in Angelic Pathways by Chantel Lysette, it was put out there that in history angels have incarnated as people. These lives that the angels incarnated as played such a huge, if not destructive, part in history that a human soul would be unable to take the burden of the experience in their afterlife. I am not entirely sure of that, but it is an interesting outlook. I don't believe in a hell, punishment for sin. I think all things happen for a reason and we all end up in the same place. Getting back on point...<br />
<br />
Everyone has a spirit guide, if not more, just like everyone has an angel. They work great together and can work through each other as well. So if you are unsure about one, you can ask the other to work with them.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-69234327275096661332013-10-13T14:02:00.003-07:002013-10-13T14:02:50.999-07:00No LabelsI meet very few pagans who freely experience angels outside of the Christian or Abrahamic thought. Not many feel 100% comfortable working with angels, even less in magick or rituals. But there is something to remember. Angels are privy to things that we as limited human beings are not. They see farther and longer than we could hope to at this time. In this way they don't serve a god so much as they do the Source. Source being the great energy, consciousness of the Universe. How one person sees Source is different from any one else. So the angels have no problem working with people who are in harmony with the Universe and Source. My version of Source takes the form of gods, egyptian ones in fact. The angels have never told me that I was wrong or shouldn't worship the gods. They see things from a much clearer perspective. <div>
So open up your hearts to the angels and start getting to know them. </div>

It originates all the way back to the summoners of angels. The practitioner would draw their symbols, do their chants, cast and presto! Angel. They summoned the angel they desired, even if it was not the angel they needed.<br />
<br />
Some practitioners get into searching for their guides and angels as a way of connecting with themselves or their needs. But once in awhile the preconception of the person can get int the way of the messages, energy, and angels they really need. For instance, a friend of mine has been seeking to connect with archangel Michael. I suggested techniques and ways to connect, but further on in the conversation the motivations emerged. My friend is a very active, fiery energy with obvious masculine tendencies. He wanted to connect with Michael because he thought they would be compatible. Plus he really wanted to see the big flaming sword. Well I let it be. The next day I was in a chat with him and a few other people and felt urged to give angel readings. My friend's turn came. Turns out that this wasn't the right time to connect with Michael. What the angels wanted to tell him was that he needed to connect with angels of humility, mercy, and compassion at the time to help balance his active energies. <br />
This bring me to the topic at hand. Sometimes we think we know what we need. The angels definitely know what we need. So when you ask the angels for guidance, you can and should always ask for what you need at the time. Because even if you don't know, they do.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-67800755572638914282013-10-08T07:12:00.006-07:002013-10-08T07:12:33.589-07:00News from AngelsSo I have mentioned before that the angels seem to come and go with me. Some days I feel them around me, other days its quiet. Recently I have been swarmed with their energy. This thursday my husband has an interview that will decide whether we will be moving or staying for a few years. Whatever the result, the angels seem to think that this will mark the time for me to build my own reiki practice. Not only a reiki practice but also an angelic practice to help connect people with the angels.<br />
I'm over their news, so the logistics are still in the works. I am hoping to be able to figure that out later down the line. wish me luck.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361421647260002440.post-5002072237127593952013-10-06T10:43:00.005-07:002013-10-06T10:43:57.734-07:00Sharing a storyI realized, after all this time, that I barely share any of my angel stories. I feel a bit apprehensive because I don't remember many of my stories after awhile so it feels like I don't have many. But I have written one or two down so I will give you one of those. Enjoy!<br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">I have never been fearful of death. My mother worked as an administrator for Hospice since I could remember. Even before that I was accustomed to the fact that people are not invincible. I was born only three years before my mother's parents passed away and the only one of their grandchildren not to be terrified of my grandfather. As I grew older I began to experience many things from new step-parents to many many new pets. I explored my spirituality and found a passion for my beliefs. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">When I first started communicating and connecting to angels, I was in high school. From freshman year and onward I found that connection strengthening. Even if I did not talk to them for months at a time while I dealt with new experiences in college they were still there. It has been thirteen years since I first started talking with angels and I am still being surprised. I would like to share one of these surprises that, looking back now, seems to fill in the gaps for the strange occurrences in my </span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">About a month or so ago I decided to make my focus this winter on healing. I wanted to heal myself, my past wounds, and emotional scars. I meditated and tried to work through the experiences that hurt me so badly as I grew up. I used the chakra system as a guide in dealing with issues one at a time. My childhood was not very stable and I can barely remember the time with my first step-father. I found out in my teen years that he had been an angry alcoholic and would get in yelling fights with my mother. My brother blames him for my sudden personality shift from an extroverted child to a quiet, introvert. Thankfully he was not in our lives for very long, but those memories are still fuzzy. In trying to work out past wounds I hit a snag on my very first chakra. The root chakra develops and solidifies around the age of seven. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">The period around which my first step-father would be leaving my life. This chakra deals with stability and at the time of its development I had very little. While thinking this over in bed one night and the effects it must have had on me, I closed my eyes. I tried to visualize what my bedroom had looked like at that time. At that point in my childhood I used imaginary friends and daydreaming to relax my mind before bed. Each night I would visualize and talk to my imaginary friends. I had so </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">many I could barely remember them all. As I relaxed, trying to imagine my old room and my childhood self I saw in my mind's eye a figure by my old bedside. This imaginary friend, or so I termed it, looked like a snow princess. She, or he, was decked out in silvery blue with long white hair. They were beautiful with a bitter sweet smile. In my mind I knew that smile, but I could not place it. So I let the image of the figure at my childhood bedside play out. They would sit with me each night and help me get to sleep. My mind was still trying to place that sad smile. I held the visualization of the figure until I realized where I knew that look from. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Whenever I feel or visualize the angel Azrael that same bitter sweetness comes with him. The smile was the same. Only now I see him in a black suit with shoulder length, wavy blonde hair looking dapper and clean. But the smile had not changed. I realized that Azrael had been with me long before I ever started speaking with angels. He was with me each night trying to comfort me into restful sleep and he still does to this day. Realizing that I allowed myself to relax in my bed and thanked Azrael. I came to terms with the fact that I may never remember what happened at that time in my childhood and in some ways I am sure it is a blessing. I continue to be comforted by </span></span></div>

Shows that somehow bring the angels closer to the surface and much more accessible. They bring our energies up and ready to receive that connection.<br />
<br /> If anyone reads or follows my posts they know that my life moves in seasons. At one time I'll be reading up on Shinto, at another time I'll be connecting to spirits of the land, then we'll come full circle back to the angels. And they understand this for me. Currently I am not sure what I am focusing on with the angels. All I know is that they are back and will probably be hounding me over something or other. Yes, the angels can be hounding. And yeas, they can be exacting and a bit pushy. Yet they are still going to be there with you to support you.<br />
<br />
Still not sure where they'll take my eyes and focus me. We'll see.BlackTailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070456288306721noreply@blogger.com0
